AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY COMES TO LIFE Discover why young people all over the country are reading the Black Stars biographies of African American heroes. Here is what you want to know about the lives of brave black men and women during the Civil Rights Movement: "The books in the Black Stars series are the types of books that would have really captivated me as a kid." "Inspiring stories that demonstrate what can happen when ingenuity and tenacity are paired with courage and hard work." "Haskins has chosen his subjects well . . . catching a sense of the enormous obstacles they had to overcome. . . . Some names are familiar, but most are little-known whom Haskins elevates to their rightful place in history." "The broad coverage makes this an unusual resource–a jumping-off point for deeper studies."
